Pollock, Amber
Exeter City Women completed a second summer signing with the arrival of Amber Pollock in July 2023.
The pacy forward made her debut for Plymouth Argyle at the age of sixteen, impressing with her direct running ability and eye for goal. Injury would lead to a lengthy recovery, taking Pollock out of action for two years, but her comeback has been impressive, scoring important goals to maintain the Pilgrims' Southern Premier status in 2022/23.
After 153 games and 42 goals in Green, Pollock was released two weeks ago and has been quickly recruited by the Grecians.
Joint Manager Abbie Britton is pleased to get another signing confirmed. "Amber was someone me and Aaron had spoken about at the end of last season, her pace and style offers us something extra within the squad. When she became available, it was an easy decision to offer her an opportunity at Exeter City. She's got higher level experience and will make our group even stronger for the new season."
Amber made her 50th appearance in all competitions on the 23rd February 2025, against Wimbledon at home.
